About RPS
This annual two-and-a-half-day event is an invigorating meeting of the minds for industry experts and Resource Planning professionals at all levels.
How would your company address the following?
Multiple organizational units are competing for the same resources
Low resource planning maturity is derailing key initiatives
Ad-hoc staff planning is contributing to poor AOP forecasting
Management thinks resource planning doesn't matter in an Agile environment
HR, Finance, & the PMO all claim to own the resource system of record
At RPS, you can gain breakthrough insights into these Resource Management and Planning topics and more!

RPS events are always held in a popular tourist destination with unique and fun evening activities, such as the Cirque du Soleil Ka show in Las Vegas, Grand Ole Opry in Nashville; a Bourbon St. marching band trip to Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans; Rockefeller Center Loft & Garden Rooftop (with dinner, games and entertainment), The George Jones Museum for an evening of music and Texas barbecue, and lots more. Since our inaugural RPS in 2009 in Chicago, we’ve been to cities such as La Jolla, New Orleans, New York City (at the Intrepid Sea and Air & Space Museum), Austin, Nashville, and other exciting hot spots.
As the premier thought leadership gathering for promoting best practices in resource management, demand management, and capacity planning, and how all these disciplines are critical to exemplary strategy and project execution, The Resource Planning Summit is always a can’t-miss event.
And did we say it’s fun, too?

the The Venue
This year for RPS, we will be at the beautiful venue called:
THE LAST HOTEL STL
The Last Hotel STL is a 4 star boutique hotel in St. Louis with a unique story and architecture.

Networking & Learning Opportunity
A conference is more than its speakers and venue. The Resource Planning Summit brings together professionals, authors, executives and managers from all industries, to network, learn from each other, and share experiences.
Project professionals get to connect with like-minded colleagues on how to best utilize and optimize enterprise resource planning, portfolio management strategies, and software across various businesses and industries. This is especially evident during our Speed Networking sessions where conference attendees have an opportunity to meet with three other conference attendees.
Visit our Agenda page for the full set of programming for this past event and prior.
